Advent 2 (December 8): The Peaceable Kingdom, led by Rainey Dankel and Keli Shipley Cooper

The prophet Isaiah describes the natural world at peace, and John the Baptist calls us to repent. How do these messages help us think about peace in our world and especially our role in environmental justice?

Advent 3 (December 15): Healing and Renewal, led by Rainey Dankel

The prophet Isaiah predicts the healing ministries that Jesus undertakes. How does Advent help us find healing in our personal and communal relationships?

Advent 4 (December 22): Miraculous Birth, led by Charlie Dupree

Angels tell both Mary and Joseph of the birth of a baby, news that is both joyous and upsetting. What do we learn from the experiences of the Holy Family that help us understand our obligations to all kinds of families?
